Dekay's brown, as mentioned. Put it back outside, it will keep the rodent population in check. Edit: another user brought to my attention that Dekay's do not eat rodents, but primarily feed on small invertebrates. Still good to have, especially if you have a garden.

I have a cat problem, they're peeing everywhere, rodents tho, no problem. I'm lobbying the town to get some gorillas to take care of the cat problem.

I wonder if your cat problem has taken care of your rodent problem?

Jokes aside, maybe your county has a TNR program? I’m in South Jersey so my critter problems are all well rounded ಥ_ಥ

Cat problem, not possible. You simply have potential friends and companions.

Always called these “Rat snakes”… assuming they are one in the same?

That is the problem with what we call common names, actually. There are probably a dozen or more species of snakes in the US that people call rat snakes, but they are all distinct species. Here in NJ, I believe we have black rat snakes, which are different from these guys.
